Fought in the highlands of Ethiopia, Adwa and Beyond offers a sweeping, comparative look at global resistance to colonial domination. Centered on the landmark Ethiopian victory at the Battle of Adwa in 1896—where African forces decisively defeated a European colonial army.
Author Terry Sloan delves into military strategies, cultural resistance, and the global implications of anti-colonial movements. Drawing from archival records, firsthand accounts, and military analysis, Sloan places Adwa in a broader narrative of resistance to colonial rule
This richly detailed study challenges Eurocentric views of colonial history, foregrounding the tactical brilliance and political agency of colonized peoples. Whether you're a student of history, a scholar of military strategy, or a general reader intrigued by stories of underdog triumphs, Adwa and Beyond provides a fresh and powerful perspective.
